We are back with our 18th edition of our interview series. It's been a little while since we had one but we are still looking to do more.

I recently became acquainted with Stewart Taylor and learned about his Bigfoot research. Stewart has authored a few guest post for us and we have featured some of his videos.

One such guest post was Giants in America, I invite you to check it out as it was informative and includes several pictures.

Here is our interview.

- Start Interview -

TM: How long have you been researching/studying Bigfoot?

ST: As a young adolescent, I was fascinated with the first news release of the Patterson-Gimlin film, but soon moved on to other adventures.  It was years later (2003) that I had my first “What in world was that!?” moment.  I then began a serious quest for answers and was eventually not to be disappointed.

TM: What got you interested in Bigfoot, Was there a particular event that got you started? 

ST: My son and I were night fishing along a remote, heavily wooded creek area.  Something large approached us and tossed a cinder block sized object into the water less than 10 feet from us, scaring the daylights out of both of us!  I knew this was not humanly possible from over 100 feet away, yet I also knew no animal could or would do something like this, which spurred me on for answers.

TM: During your research/studying of Bigfoot, have you ever encountered aggressive behavior or felt in danger from a Bigfoot?(details please)

ST: I have been very fortunate not to be aggressively threatened.  I did have one growl at three of us once and we just backed out of the area and left Groucho alone!

TM: It seems Skeptics are always ready to attack Bigfoot research, How do you deal with it?

ST: I quit trying to prove any point with the skeptics.  They will believe what they choose to believe.  I enjoy sharing with interested folks.  I do realize the skeptics have good reasons not to believe, but what they accept or reject has nothing to do with what I have seen and experienced for myself!

TM: Would you like to see Bigfoot accepted and/or proven to the general public?

ST: There are all kinds of opinions regarding this subject.   To me, it seems like there are powers working for the Bigfoot subject not to be ever proven to the general public.  I used to have this proving to the world hunger, but rejection and ridicule can temper this desire big time!!

TM: What is your favorite time of year to research/study Bigfoot, When do you have your most success?

ST: Late fall, winter and early spring when the bugs and snakes are not active!

TM: Do you have a favorite Bigfoot story or report?

ST: I have had a family group approach and communicate with me one time.  It was an incredible, once in a lifetime experience that changed my whole form of thinking about them.

TM: What would you be doing if you wasn't researching/studying Bigfoot?

ST: I enjoy the outdoors and nature anyway.  The Bigfoot twist has tempered my thinking about what goes bump in the night

Thanks for doing the interview and good luck with your research.

UFOs and Bigfoot?

This post by Thomas Marcum, Thomas is the founder/leader of the cryptozoology and paranormal research organization known as The Crypto Crew. Over 20 years of experience with research and investigation of unexplained activity, working with video and websites. A trained wild land firefighter and a published photographer, and a poet.



Many people connect Bigfoot and UFOs and there does seem to be a correlation between the two.

This video is from Stewart Taylor, While out bigfooting he filmed some odd lights in the night sky.
Here is what Stewart said about the video

"I noticed lights hovering above us over the trees.  They were Delta shaped and changing colors like a row of Christmas tree lights.  When I mentioned it to another, they seem to dodge behind the angle of the limbs, but my movement captures several of them. You can hear my excitement in my voice!"

Here is the video, I have done a little work on it to show where the objects are in the sky.

Possible Bigfoot eyeshine from OK (Mock Up Photo)

This is a Guest Post by Stewart Taylor.  Stewart enjoys sharing with interested folks about what he has been fortunate with obtaining. To teach and convey these subjects are a forest people living among us.




In the unenhanced-unedited clip of the bubbleheads peering over the 4-wheelers.  The scope was a 4X50 power so they are not quite as close as the pictures appear.

We were cooking stew over a small propane burner and I eased around the dark side of a motor home and was scanning the perimeter looking for Bigfoot eye shine. 

I kept hearing subtle movement around us in the near pitch dark and wanted to get the Big Guy lurking about.

I never noticed them at that time, if so, that would have freaked me out!!  Bigfoot and these little bubblehead subjects would have been too much!!!

The video Eyeshine video was shot in Oklahoma on private land that has had a history of Bigfoot activity going back several generations.

Here is the Video

Throughout world history and legends, there are documented accounts of ordinary men coming in contact with humanoid giants of various sorts. The Titans, Ogres and Trolls are just a few of many widely used examples. There are also similar records contained within various religious documentations. For one, the Christian Bible clearly relates how giants came to be among men in its very first book, Genesis, chapter 6.
In today’s world, a vast majority of folks give this subject little serious consideration or thought. They quickly discount this particular information as merely just fables or fairy tales. Most consider it on the same level as a Mother Goose tale and other stories for young children to dream on at bedtime.
Regardless of these commonly held opinions, it doesn’t change what has occurred closer to home. In North America, Native American history and legends have contained information on giants for hundreds of years, some of which are clearly recorded in ancient cave paintings or masks and totem figures.

Many Native American tribes have names for these subjects. A few examples in the English translation are: “The Stone Giants” are used by the Cherokee and Iroquois people. The Lakota term is “Big Elder Brother” and the Taos call them “Big Person. The list of names is very extensive and other than a limited few terms like “Demon”, “Devil” or “Cannibal Giants”, none lists or compares these subjects to an animal.

A close study of American news accounts also reveal numerous stories of humanoid giants being seen. It starts along the east coast in the 1700’s then moves with the westward push into the 18 and 1900’s. In Daniel Boone’s memoirs, he wrote of shooting a ten foot “Yahoo” in 1782. It was located in Kentucky somewhere along what is now the Montgomery-Powell County line. In another account, Teddy Roosevelt, our 26th president, wrote a book in the late 1800’s, titled “Wilderness Hunter”. It has one chapter about two young hunters/trappers encountering a large hairy giant in what was then the remote Montana territory. They entered it in a remote valley that was shunned by the local Indian population as being an evil dangerous place.

Here in America, there are presently dozens of organized groups dedicated to investigating and documenting reports of giants. It is information coming from everyday people seeing or hearing something very unusual in the wooded areas of America. An appreciable number of these witnesses are respected folks like doctors, nurses, active military, police and firemen, all having no reason to lie or receive any personal gain for telling their story. Some would have been better off never telling their story for the rejection and ridicule they received. All for doing nothing more than telling the complete truth of what happened to them. It is an ignorantly cast prejudice that has stifled numerous personal accounts, some of which may be never told to another!

The Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization (B.F.R.O.) was formed in 1995. Since that time, they have investigated and published over 4600 credible and verified witness accounts believed to be directly associated with the Bigfoot/Sasquatch phenomenon. Most of them occurring right here in North America! The total number of submitted reports is actually much higher than this published figure, but if a reasonable level of certainty cannot be verified or established, it is not listed on their internet website.

Like most other folks, I never gave this phenomenon much serious consideration. As a young adolescent back in the mid 1960’s, I was intrigued by the first release of the Patterson-Gimlin film on the local news channel. I spent a short time pondering all the possibilities, but it was quickly gone, soon replaced by other youthful adventures and interests.

I was raised up along the west coast, hunting, fishing, camping and hiking in areas of reported Bigfoot activity. Not once do I ever recall hearing or seeing anything close to making me believe this elusive giant could really exist. It was years later after several decades of mature adult life and moving to the southwest U.S., that I had my first “What in the world was that!?” moment.
My son and I were night fishing along a remote, heavily wooded creek bank in North Texas. We parked there shortly before sundown and had fished well past midnight by the light of the Coleman lantern placed on my pickup’s tailgate behind us.

At some point, I became aware of subtle movements in the brush north of us. A swish of a branch here, a crackle of leaves there, I first noticed it about 100-150 yards away and it seemed to be slowly getting closer to us. There was a side slough running perpendicular into the creek beside us. It was about 20 feet wide and separated us from the thick brush where the noises were coming from.
I wasn’t at all concerned since many night animals such as armadillo, raccoon, coyotes etc., often forage through the night and are no serious threat. It was then I felt the very distinct feeling of being watched and then a loud close snap of a fairly large twig being stepped on. Not something any light four legged animal would do.

My level of alertness perked up several notches and I began to discreetly scan our entire perimeter, not wanting to concern my then 15 year old son. Nothing was there, so I then focused on the thick brush line. I got up and strolled over to the truck cab retrieving a bright spotlight and began to scan that direction.

I can’t precisely relate what I momentarily saw flash by the roving circle of light, but looked like a man’s face recessed back in the brush. It was there one split second and gone the next. I jerked the light back to the spot, but then saw nothing. Noticing my sudden movement out of the corner of his eye, my son asked “What are you doing Dad?”?

“Oh nothing….just looking” I replied, not wanting to sound a bit concerned to him, but was now not at total peace with this subtle activity.

I put the light up and sat back down and continued fishing. Not more than 10 minutes, not less than 5, a huge cinder block sized object came hurtling out of the brush line, crashing into the water less than 10 feet from us. It produced a splash about like a 50 pound child doing a cannon ball off the high dive. We both instinctively fell back in our folding chairs away from the splash as huge drops of water rained down on us.

“WHAT WAS THAT!?...WHAT WAS THAT!?” my son screamed out lunging to me and tightly clutching my side as his terrified eyes wildly darted about.

I pulled him back from the water watching to large waves fan out. I was completely bewildered at the unexpected chain of events. What I did know was that whatever hit the water was large and didn’t float. I also knew if it had hit either one of us, it would have inflicted at the very least, serious bodily injury-probably more. Feeling quite threatened, I raced over to the truck and grabbed my 357 revolver loaded with hot personal defense rounds.

“THAT’S NOT FUNNY!” I yelled out. “I HAVE A GUN AND MAY DECIDE TO USE IT IF YOU THROW SOMETHING LIKE THAT AGAIN!”
